It is very early to have your baby now. I know your miserable. So many of us are too. Talk to your doctor about it. You may even be experiencing some symptoms of depression which would cause you to think of delivering ealry. Please do not risk your baby's life by trying to have her/him early. I have 2 children and 1 on the way. I hate the discomfort of being pregnant, but the end result is worth every miserable second of being pregnant!

i'm 24 weeks now and i'm not going to lie and say i've never thought "oh god 16 more weeks" BUT i also would go through 40 more weeks of morning sickness if it meant my baby would be healthy. this is my first also and i've wanted a child for so long but no one really knows how they will handle being pregnant. some people say they love it, but honestly, i'm not to thrilled about it. but like i said, i'd do it all over again then some if it meant my child would be safe and healthy. i'd hate every second of it, but you have to put your child before you. and i'm willing to do that.

I am 24 weeks and on total bedrest. I had to have a rescue cerclage at 18 weeks and will be on bedrest until the baby is born. I hate that I can only go to the restroom & take a quick shower but I would hate it more to have a child come earlier and have to deal with all of the health issues. My friend had her baby at 28 weeks and he has had several surgeries and at 5months has a feeding tube and a colosomy bag. He is not even 7 lbs yet and has to have several more surgeries. Just hang in there a healthy baby is worth it.

Your have to be joking, right? Being pregnant is not all ice cream and cute bellies! Its uncomfortable at times and seems like it will never end but it will. If you have a conscience at all you will not want that baby born now, dont you want it to have a good healthy start?

Seriously? I'm 24 weeks pregnant today and I started having pre-term labor yesterday. I immediately went to the ER to get them to stop the contractions. YOU DO NOT want to have a baby this early. There are so many things that can go wrong if your baby makes it. I still can't believe I'm reading that question!

I'm not trying to be rude, but this is the silliest and most ridiculous question I've ever heard by a pregnant woman! I understand you're miserable - I'm 24 weeks and miserable too, although I felt the best in my life with my first pregnancy - but why on earth would you want to deliver at 24 weeks? That's 16 weeks early...you would be causing your baby so many complications and in turn your baby would be miserable instead of you. I agree with momxxx3, 'sick it up'!!

I am also 24 weeks with #4 daughter.Out of all 3 of my daughters i have only delivered 1 at a full 40 weeks.My first was at 33 weeks and we spent 6 weeks in ICU it was horrible. And my 3rd i went into labour at 29 weeks and had to be air lifted 5 hours away from my family to a special womens hospital. I had quite a bit of bleeding up until 13 weeks with this one and i just pray to god everyday that she stays in there until at least 36 weeks.You need to stop being so selfish and get over it. Millions of women around the world are experiencing the exact same uncomfortablness as you so grow up!!!! Start thinking about the miracle growing inside of you. You are obviously either very young or very uneducated to ask this question in the first place. You think this is hard wait for labour!!!!

The first thing about being a mom is that you have to put yourself second. The baby must go first no matter how uncomfortable it is! I'm on my 4th child and in my 24th week, yeah, it's not fun, but you have to keep your eyes on the prize- and that is the baby. If you delivered now you would risk killing that innocent child. Nothing is worth that! You can get through it. Just try to concentrate on other things to keep your mind occupied and when the delivery date comes, when you see your baby's face, you will realize it was all worth it!

I am also 24 weeks pregnant, and am seriously questioning on if this is your first baby. Perhaps this may sound mean, but honesty is what is really called for right now, perhaps you should have thought about how pregnancy is before you went as far as you have into your pregnancy.It is the hardest most blessed gift a person can have, a child.I have had a difficult pregnancy from the beginning, from hyperemesis, to internal bleeding for two months, and the first thing I think about is my child.I would seriously suggest you think about the life that you are or are not willing to provide for this baby, because babies take more than they give, they need more love and a special bond that only a mother can give, and that is unconditional love and for them to come first.You are the one that provides their life, and they depend on you and forever will.I wish you luck, especially the life of your babies.Marinebaby123 proud mom of 2 and a baby girl on the way
